Rihanna performed a concert in Abu Dhabi on Saturday
Pop
star Rihanna was asked to leave a famous Abu Dhabi mosque complex after
posing outside the building for an unauthorised photo shoot.
The singer tweeted pictures of herself in a black jumpsuit and headscarf on photo-sharing site Instagram.
A statement from the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Centre, said she was asked to leave after "inappropriate pictures" were taken.
The photos "did not comply with terms and conditions" of organised visits.
Rihanna performed live in the capital of the United Arab Emirates on Saturday.
The mosque said Rihanna, 25, first arrived "at an entrance that was not designated for visitors".
"She was confronted by the mosque officials and directed to
the appropriate entrance to the mosque, to carry out a visit under the
normal conditions."
She was asked to leave after striking a series of poses for the photo shoot.
The statement claimed Rihanna turned up at the mosque "without any previous co-ordination with the administration".
Several of the photos could be construed as suggestive, with
one showing the pop star lying on her back in the mosque's courtyard.
The mosque is a major tourist attraction and had more than three million visitors last year.
Rihanna's publicity team have yet to make a comment.
